From: "MRS.LIZ UFIEM" <mrs.lizkufiem@outgun.com>

Subject: Dearest One,
Dearest One,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into Business relationship
with you. I got your contact from the International web site directory
during my quest for a reliable individual.
I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to it's
esteeming nature and the recommendations given to me as a reputable and
trustworthy person I can do business with and by their recommendations I
must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business.
My name is Mrs. Liz Ufiem. the wife of late Mr. Kufour T. Ufiem who was the
Cocoa exporting director here in Ghana before he died in the year 2006. We
were married for twenty years with one child called Johnson who is 16 years
old. When my husband was alive we deposited the sum of Eight Million United
states Dollars (USD$8,000,000.00) with a Security Company Presently, this
money is still in the Security Company, but my worried is recently my Doctor
told me that I would not last for the next Two months due to my cancer
Sickness, and since then my whole life has been a miserable one. Though what
disturbs me most is my stroke condition,
I need a Godly person who will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct, to use some part of the money for charity and orphanage and to
invest the rest of the money for good business in your country so that my
son will have a better future. I also took this decision because my husband
relatives are not honest with my husband when he was alive, they are enemies
of progress and they don't have the fear of God in them, they are not Godly
and I have to avoid them having any idea about this fund.
I want my son to inherit this money but he can not carry out this alone due
to his younger age with his low mentality and to keep away from any mistake
of my late husbands relatives having any idea of this deposit because they
are always around us to monitor our movements to see if there is still any
hidden treasure, property or money. this is why I take this bold decision to
contact you personally as a foreigner for assistance, so that the Company
can transfer the money out of this Country in your name as my foreign
partner once I present you.
As soon as I hear from you I shall direct you to the Security Company here
where the money was deposited with all the informations. Please I want you
and your family to always pray for my healing and to always be prayerful to
God in all the days of your life. The God is our strength and with God all
things are possible. I will be expecting to hear from you soonest.
Sincerely,
Mrs.Liz Ufiem.
